Not Me Monday

www.mycharmingkids.net
I am going to participate in MckMama's Not Me Monday. This is where you get to talk about things you would never do, but somehow might of, and not really admit to it.

I did not make dinner rolls for Christmas dinner and then leave them in the oven to find them Sunday afternoon when I went to bake some corn bread.

I did not take my kids into TJ Maxx to look for a New Year's Eve outfit and lecture them about behaving. I did not take my 3 kids and Conner's friend Micah into the home decor section and to just look around. And I most certainly DID NOT pick up one wire basket from the top shelf and it did not start a chain reaction that caused everything on that shelf to fall on me and onto the floor. I did not try to use my body to hold stuff up and get stuck in this position as my kids were standing there wide eyed with their mouth's wide open. Candle sticks, picture frames, you name it, it did not fall over. And there was not a glass picture frame that fell over and knocked everything off of the top shelf from the next aisle over. And everything that fell off that shelf was not glass vases. And my poor tramatized 8 year old did not tell the lady that works there that if her mommy has to pay for all of the stuff she broke they could have the $60 from her savings account.

Smores

For our anniversary we celebrated by making
really yummy smores.
I want to remember my family just like this.
Easy happy memories.
Just turn on the outside grill, add marshmallows, hersey chocolate bars
and graham crackers.
By the way, it was really cold. Just how I like it.
Does it look like fun? It was a blast!

making this blogging thing more fun!

This day

is the day

Jim and I started our lives together

Eleven years and three babies later.
I can honestly say
if I could do it all over again
I wouldn't change a thing.

Happy Anniversary

I love you more today

than ever.

I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas.

I really want to post some pictures of the kiddos.

For now, I want to share this link with you. There is a you-tube video you must watch.

Christmas Tour

Just for fun I am participating in this tour of blog homes.

We are all showing our Christmas decorations.

I love going into other's "homes" and seeing some unique

and some traditional Christmas decorations.

Here is a link to the women that is hosting the tour.

I started collecting Nativities.

I was inspired by my friend Micki.

I am really happy with this one.

I got it last year after Christmas at Family Christian Bookstore.

It was on clearance and I got to use my 25% off coupon!

In honor of my Firefighter husband.

I started collecting Christmas themed firefighter ornaments and

decorations pretty early in our marriage.

I really love these Santas.

I wish I was better about buying one every year.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
